FAQ

My device is unrecognized in ATMEL Studio 6. What should I do in order to get it recognized?

Please, follow the steps listed below

Connect the programmer to the USB and with a sharp object (needle or pin) press the upgrade pin - it is in a small hole at the back of the board (this will start the bootloader and will turn off the LED, also probably will show a new unrecognized device in device manager for which we will install driver in step 3)

Download and install the latest version of "Atmel Flip" software (it can be downloaded from the Atmel's web-site)

Open its install folder and update the software of the unrecognized device (usually under "Other devices" tab) with the drivers from folder named "usb"; the device should now be recognized as AT90USB162 under "libusb-win32" tab
